Covered Sectors Clause Samples

The "Covered Sectors" clause defines which industries, fields, or types of business activities are subject to the terms of the agreement. It typically lists or describes specific sectors—such as healthcare, technology, or manufacturing—that the contract will govern or affect. For example, in a trade agreement, this clause might specify that only goods and services from the agricultural and automotive sectors are included. Its core practical function is to clearly delineate the scope of the agreement, ensuring all parties understand which areas are included or excluded, thereby preventing disputes over applicability.
